Read the bat book. While I dislike the Sendmail configuration file they
give good examples on why rewriting is in there. The short and sweet answer
is simple, which one of these are valid:
From: Steve Lamb <morpheus@calweb.com>
From: morpheus@calweb.com
From: morpheus@calweb.com (Steve Lamb)
From: "Steve Lamb" <<morpheus@calweb.com>>
From: Steve Lamb <morpheus%calweb@teleute.dyn.ml.org>
Answer, according to sendmail and the abigiuties of the RFCs, all of
them.
